Letters Patent No. 92,326, dated July 6, 1369.

11m-movil''Miarrnfv 'cLovnR AND rLAx-THRESHING MAGHINE.

The Schedule referred to' in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may conce/rn.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL H. LINTAN, of Burrows, in the county ot' Carroll, and State of Indiana, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Clover and Flax-Threshing Machines; and I do hereby defor threshing and separating clover and flax, and hasfor its object to provide a more vsimple and cheap machine than those now in use.

It consists in the combination of' parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

Figure 1 represents a plan view of my improved machine; and

Figure 2 represents a. longitudinal sectional elevation ofthe same.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The teeth a, of the cylinder, and its case, are roughened or grooved on their sides, to produce a better action upon the substance for separating the seed, and a shaker, c, is provided under the cylinder', for separating the grain from the straw, and operated by cranksbatts, suitably driven by a belt from the fan-shaft.

The grain falls through the shaker on to the in clined way al, up which vit will be carried by the endless scraper e, and delivered over the elevated end to the action of the fan-blower, of which f represents the axis.

The straw. and chaff will also be carried up the ineline withthe grain, but owing to the passage of' the latter through the separator c, they will be carried above the grain in the manner best calculated to facilitate their separation by the fan, and the straw will be carried 'on over the axle g ofthe Scrapers.

'This arrangement admits of a very cheap construction, and affords a very eiiicient apparatus for the purpose, as will be readily observed.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patenti The combination, with the cylinder Aand inclined ways (l, of the perfbrated shaker and 4the endless scraper or carrier e,`all arranged substantially as and for the purposev described.

SAMUEL H. LINTAN.
